Polishing to 8% as a junmai daiginjo points to a high, fragrant aroma, and the sub-zero aging and 2019 vintage described in the text add depth and body. SMV -2 with low acidity of 1.1 gives a soft, slightly sweet impression, placing it in the juku quadrant.

About

Tatenokawa Kiwami brings together all the skill and passion of the Tatenokawa Shuzo brewery, founded in 1832, in a sake that combines aroma, delicacy, body, and a lingering finish. First brewed in 2013, Kiwami has continued to stand as the symbol of this brewery. The skill of the kurabito (brewers) in producing rice polished to an extremely small 8% has grown more refined with each passing year. The Kiwami brewed in 2019 reached a superlative level of quality. Because the sake's inherent potential was exceptionally rare, it was given a special aging at sub-zero temperatures and presented under the designation -2019 Vintage-. We hope you enjoy the appeal of a sake that deepens in character with the passing of time.
